here is a solution:
** dummy data.
DATA LIST FREE /D1 TO D8 (8a5).
BEGIN DATA
49300 49307 48000 10100 50006 46000 32000 44000
49322 44000 30000 34001 35678 12345 22111 34000
33002 45000 78900 54098 48308 44555 43210 45678
56789 34567 87905 49354 44455 66567 76555 66789
23145 33222 44567 49366 44411 45322 45000 67009
END DATA.
** Find cases with at least 1 diagnosis starting with '493'.
** ADD files will drop the asthma variables.
STRING asth1 TO asth8 (a3).
DO REPEAT y = d1 to d8 /x = asth1 TO asth8.
COMPUTE x = substr(y,1,3).
END REPEAT.
COMPUTE asthma EQ ANY('493',asth1 TO asth8).
ADD FILES FILE = * /DROP = asth1 TO asth8.
EXECUTE.
